City of Orono, <br /> We currently have a variance to build a new house and during the process to obtain said variance <br /> discussions revolved around average set back and sight lines. The City council's discussion prior to <br /> approving the variance discussed that the house to the north is skewed so far back that it did not make <br /> sense to include that property when figuring our setback. The counsel never discussed roof lines or <br /> other aspects of the house design they just concerned themselves with site lines and determined that <br /> the neighbors view would not be affected by our proposed changes. The current proposal to add a <br /> chimney also has zero effect on the neighbors site line due the proposed position of the chimney on the <br /> house and the fact that it is lower than the peak of the roof. We believe that if this chimney was on the <br /> original plans that the variance would have been approved and we would not be here today asking for a <br /> variance to add it to the house prior to construction. Thank you for your consideration <br /> Robert Schmitt <br />
